A Note from the Nurses:

Hand washing is the best way to stay healthy this year!  Wash your hands with soap before eating, after sneezing, coughing, or using the restroom. Hand gel is okay, but it doesn’t take the place of scrubbing with soap and water.
Click here for more information and a video on handwashing. 
 
Remember to keep your student home if they exhibit the following symptoms:
  • Fever of 100 degrees or more
  • Vomiting or diarrhea
  • Persistent cough
  • Any rash
  • Open draining or itchy lesions
  • Inflamed, itchy, and/or draining eyes
  • Presence of lice or nits in the hair
  • Undiagnosed scaly patches on the skin or scalp
  • Suffering from a reportable disease (as defined by the Texas Board of Health)

FEVER:
If your student experiences fever please allow them to stay home until they are fever free for 24 hours with out Tylenol or Motrin. Students will be sent home if they present with 100 degrees or more of temperature.
 
VOMITING:
Please allow your student to stay home if they vomit during the night or the morning before school.
 
DIARRHEA:
Episodes of diarrhea, whether infectious or non-infectious, are a source of E.coli. This can be transmitted quickly with consequences in a communal environment. An isolated episode of diarrhea, properly maintained, contained, and is not recurring, could allow a student to remain in a classroom setting.

As always, please contact us with questions or concerns about your student’s health.
 
Sincerely,
